Editor's Notes
commento ai dati numerici…. Focus su contrazione di fatturato dovuto principlamete alla contrazione dei milioni di litr di Gecam venduto ( effetto crisi industriale per - 6,2 mln/litri ( pari ad una contrazione del ….% ) ed alla contrazione del prezzo del petrolio che hapesato nel primo semestre per oltre 6 mil €)….. Il ritardo di 10 mesi sui mercati impatterà sui risultati ’09 che vedranno un PBIT attorno al pareggio. Il 2010 dovrebbe donfewrmare il trend di crescita previsto attraverso la crescita delle vendite in Germania, Italia e Cina e da nuove opportunità che nel frattempo stanno emergendo in alrtri paesi europei ed in America Latina
